Northshore Campground is located on Lake Britton, directly across the water from McArthur-Burney Falls State Park. The campground is operated by the Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation.
Visitors to the campground enjoy lake access for swimming, boating and fishing. The state park is only a 6-mile drive from the campground.
Northshore Campground is set in a forested area and offers 30 campsites for RVs, trailers, and tents. The recent drought killed a number of trees which had to be removed, reducing the amount of shade at the campground.
A 2-night minimum stay is required if arriving on a Friday or Saturday and for those making reservations. The coin operated showers at the campground are solar heated. An unimproved boat ramp is nearby ($7 launch fee).
